"Oh, come over then, okay." Alan Wilson hung up the phone, stretched out his hands to brush his hair, and with a smile on his face, Pamela Mountbatten withdrew her loving eyes from her children and said
Asked, "Richard? He seems to be coming here for some excuse lately."
"He is looking for an opportunity to prove his reliability." Alan Wilson stretched and then put his arm on his wife's shoulders. "I think he has found the key problem now."
"Do you want me to avoid it?" Pamela Mountbatten, who was leaning in her husband's arms, raised her head and asked about her role.
"No, I think the purpose of his coming has something to do with you." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, "Prepare a bottle of whiskey."
The person in charge of the administrative bureau, who was determined to benefit society on a larger level, came to the home of his immediate boss.
Richard has been very busy recently, working at various levels, but he is definitely very motivated.
"I've seen the logistics support projects of the Armored Division and Marine Division, and they're very good." He politely poured a glass for Richard, and Alan Wilson raised his glass. The two took a sip before continuing, "I think
, at least you have left a good impression on the officers and soldiers of the British and Horse Corps."
"They all call me good Richard now." Richard reservedly praised himself, then changed the subject, "Of course, these are all under the leadership of the commissioner, and we have some insignificant achievements."
"It's better that you are careful." Alan Wilson said to himself that Good Man Richard was not a good title, and praised him one by one, "The body shape of the locals is different from ours. The new custom-made military uniforms take the body shape differences into consideration.
This is all your fault."
Limited by objective conditions, the Chinese recruitment requirements are 1.65 meters tall, while the Malays are even lower, 1.62 meters tall. This standard is not low.
After all, due to geographical factors, the Chinese who came to the Malayan colonies were all from the south, and the top-notch people from the three northeastern provinces and Shandong would not come to Nanyang.
According to feedback from the intelligence network in Indonesia, the average Indonesian man is less than 1.6 meters tall. This survey was conducted by Alan Wilson for public and private purposes when he had nothing to do. The purpose was to launch map cannons.
Anyway, the entire Malayan colony now knows that Indonesians are dwarfs, which has led to various jokes mocking the height of Indonesians. This is just a small part of the career of High Commissioner Alan Wilson.
If military uniforms are made for colonial soldiers based on British figures, there will definitely be problems with the fit. Even if they are the same height, white people will look stronger than yellow people. White people of the same height will weigh more, while yellow people will look slimmer.
There are objective differences in the body. For example, black people have more eye-catching body proportions and are more likely to develop muscles through exercise.
"The High Commissioner should understand the ethnic groups under his jurisdiction and pay attention to the things that they care about." Alan Wilson said this change of subject, "and find a balance between them."
After a glass of wine, Richard took out an assessment of the hydropower system in the Malay Peninsula from the civil servant he carried with him. "The data on the hydropower system are all here. We all believe that we need a strong and image
A good group to operate the hydropower system in Peninsular Malaysia."
"Oh, is there such a group?" Alan Wilson handed the evaluation report to his wife sitting next to him.
Pamela Mountbatten beamed with joy and said happily, "Richard has found the key question..."
"Go upstairs and take your time and take a look." Alan Wilson felt that his wife was not calm, so he rolled his eyes.
But immediately Pamela Mountbatten went upstairs with the evaluation report, leaving the space for the two men to talk about business, but she did not forget to promise, "Director Richard, our group is ready to unite the car manufacturers to replace the colonial government at half price."
If you want to use a car, the new Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is more suitable for your level. I’ll contact the country and have it shipped over by sea.”
"Hey!" Alan Wilson stroked his forehead and said to his subordinate, "I made you laugh."
"No, it's nothing." Richard swallowed. He actually envied his immediate boss's car that he rarely drove.
"I mean, it doesn't actually have to be in the bus field. What belongs to the country only belongs to the country. At critical moments, you still have to be talented. Pamela still didn't think about it." Alan Wilson handed out a jelly bean and one
What does a silver cloud mean compared to the water and electricity operating rights of the Malayan colony?
"What do you think of the current level of development of the Malayan colonies and their importance to the British Empire? If various potential threats arise, what are your views? If you are the chief executive, how will you compete with neighboring countries?"
Alan Wilson, who knew that his career as commissioner was coming to an end, asked many questions about his successor. He believed that Richard already had the answers to most of the questions.
"In terms of the degree of radiation to Southeast Asia, we have a better location than Japan. The commissioner has initially opened up the Myanmar market. This is a good start. If I become the chief executive, I will naturally continue to expand the results."
Richard sat upright and expressed his views while secretly observing the face of his immediate boss. He patted his chest and wanted to continue the Malayan miracle.
"The geographical location is indeed the biggest advantage that the Malayan colony can rely on. At the same time, it can cooperate with Xiangjiang in import and export. It is a pity that Portuguese Goa is on the west coast of India, not the east coast, but this does not matter. In short, we
It has access to two of the world’s largest markets by population.”
Alan Wilson replied with satisfaction, "As for other directions, with the current development level of the Malayan colonies, excluding Indonesia, there is already a gap of two to seven times with the surrounding areas. If it were not for the crushing manpower advantage
, this gap is almost unshakable. From the data point of view, the closest is the Philippines. But you don’t have to worry, there are hundreds of political families in the Philippines tied to regions, just like the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages. Even if
If there are no problems now, there will be problems in the future. If flaws are exposed during your term, you must seize the opportunity."

The conversation became more sexual, and the two of them put down their wine glasses and prepared to go out for a walk. The topic further turned to the issue of colonial security.
"We have three potential threats. One is farther away and is the Suez Canal. If I have the ability, I will help you solve the problem. But for the remaining two, I can only help."
Alan Wilson gave me the instructions. To put it simply, I will be submissive to China and strike hard against Indonesia.
"After all, we are separated by a sea, and it is not impossible to talk through Mr. Lin." Alan Wilson expressed the concept that at critical moments, I can also be patriotic and I can talk, "Even if there is a conflict, the big deal is a confrontation of public opinions. Other than that, I can be patriotic and talk about it."
The fundamental center is, we say what they say."
This point involves Richard's blind spot in knowledge. Although he is extremely gifted in language and has learned Chinese in a short time, and has no language barrier when communicating with Chinese people, it is difficult for him to get closer to the Chinese people.
"When it comes to the security of the Malayan colonies, the only way to defeat magic is with magic. The Chinese have a rhetoric that has existed since ancient times. The flaw in this rhetoric is that it cannot be traced back indefinitely, otherwise each country will choose when its territory is the largest to make claims. That is not
Is it chaos? From their point of view, fortunately, the Qing Dynasty was the period when they had the largest territory, and this rhetoric is beneficial to them."
Alan Wilson knew very well that the foundation from ancient times was on the territory of the Qianlong period, and the advantage of this rhetoric to Britain was that at that time Britain was already an empire on which the sun never set.
"Once this kind of public opinion attack occurs, change the country and send it out word for word. We will say whatever they say."
"Since ancient times?" Richard hesitated. He felt that this statement was very unreasonable.
But it was the most advantageous. Alan Wilson seemed to see the doubts of his subordinates, "When they were the largest, it happened to be the time when the UK was the largest. Whose ancestors were not rich?"
"When it comes to the security of the Malayan colonies and even Hong Kong, we must let them know what we really think, and let us know what their thoughts are. This will help avoid strategic misjudgments."
"As for Indonesia, there is no need to be so polite. Sukarno has openly advocated Greater Indonesiaism and visited the Soviet camp last year. Although the United States has a conflicting understanding of Indonesia with us, we firmly believe that the Americans are wrong about Indonesia.
Yes, five-nation joint defense is absolutely necessary."
Richard nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and accepted the idea of using the Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet to take high-pressure action against Indonesia. "We must resolutely thwart Indonesia's ambitions."
"Before leaving office, I tried my best to find ways to get honest weapons from Indonesia." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "Indonesia and Malaya have an income gap of nearly ten times, which is the best comparison object. Find more
The trouble in Indonesia will help the stability of the Malayan colony."
God bless, Indonesia is currently the poorest place in Southeast Asia, and the income of Indians is higher than that of Indonesia. The Malayan colonies did not exceed Indonesia in per capita income, but also exceeded Indonesia in total.
Out of the basic principle of basing one's own happiness on the pain of the opponent, he must bring Indonesia out for comparison if nothing happens. "While I am returning to London, you will maintain communication with the Sudanese and Chinese businessmen on my behalf. Yes."
If you have any questions, please contact me directly.”
"Commissioner, are you going back to London?" Richard's face was complicated, but he immediately looked like he was reluctant to leave.
"Are you very much expecting me to leave early?" Alan Wilson looked at Richard sideways, as if he was weighing whether this subordinate was reliable.
